Pretty Little Thing

Over the last couple of years, I've gone mostly electronic, and even more so in the last two months with my new iPhone, but I still like to keep a notebook in my purse for jotting down a quick note.  And for that, I love these pretty little notebooks from Greenroom.  I like the paper size, pretty covers and slim profile.  They are about 4 x 5 in, a little bigger than a standard index card.  In addition, they make a great and inexpensive travel journal.  Look for them in the stationary aisle at Target.  The only trouble you have is picking out which cover design you like the best!

In honor of my favorite guy... one of his favorite things!

The Basic Binder Clip.  Not very pretty to look at, but a real work horse.  You will find these in almost every room in our house.  In the kitchen, they hold the chip and pretzels bags shut tight.  In the bathroom, I use one to hold a couple of drawer dividers together and from sliding all over the place.  I keep one or two in my purse to hold the assortment of store coupons.  In the office, it holds a stack of papers (duh!) or a cord along the edge of a desk to keep them neat and untangled.  You get the picture, and I'm sure you have your own unique uses for this simple but clever little thing.  Please share!
